In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

"Currently experiencing audio problems" -- Inaudible HARB meeting on historic preservation, with two of five members on DAVID BARTON CORNEAL's payroll

Disgusting. There's a meeting of the St. Augustine Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) right now, from 2-5 PM on June 11, 2015. Nothing can be heard. A red letter message appears: "Currently experiencing audio problems." That's a generic indictment of all of our American governments, which from City Hall to state capitols to Washington, D.C. don't listen to us. Despicable.
CARPENTER'S HOUSE DESTROYED by 2-1 vote of HARB, after two members recused themselves because they were Quisling hirelings of DAVID BARTON CORNEAL -- Benedict Arnold Board appointees JEREMY MARQUIS and PAUL M. WEAVER, III:
JEREMY MARQUIS, HARB member, has resigned, this will be his last meeting
WORKING FOR DAVID BARTON CORNEAL, who demolished Carpenter's House without waiting for appeal deadline to expire
PAUL M. WEAVER, III, HARB member, needs to resigned, WORKING FOR DAVID BARTON CORNEAL, who demolished Carpenter's House without waiting for appeal deadline to expire

A sever (sic) lighting strike on City Hall late Tuesday [two days ago] has caused a disruption in the ability to video/audio record and deliver today’s meeting of the Historic Architecture Review Board. Efforts are underway to repair the systems as soon as possible, but resumption of service is not expected to occur today.
